Proxy for Android

C why would you?

I think that most users of Android devices are faced with such a problem as setting up a proxy. The problem is not of universal scale, but this is no less unpleasant.
I am the owner of the Acer A500 tablet and as some may know, unlike the A501 fellow, there is no possibility to use 3g (without resorting to homemade races with a 3g modem), and in 4 versions, the modem doesn’t stick, because There is a problem with root-rights (although what I'm lying to, the craftsmen have already been able to stick it in, but everything is so crooked and through the stump-deck that it’s better not to crawl now). But I have a freebie in the university, albeit not fast, and many-missing, but the Internet. And he, drum roll, through wifi + proxy. There are no problems with the Wifi, but how to become the master of the world to set up a proxy was not exactly known.

Actually, from the version of Android 3.2 and 4 it is possible to configure the proxy using standard tools, but, alas, it will only work on a standard browser = (and all the delicious Internet applications also do not work.

Third-party funds

anProxy is a small program that allows you to quickly configure a proxy server for the browser.
Proxymator - A simple program for setting up a proxy server (Also includes username + password)
ProxyDroid - HTTP / SOCKS4 / SOCKS5 proxy with automatic activation by SSID.
Auto Proxy - An interesting enough program to configure the proxy http (s), socks, ntlm, but to use it, we need root and iptables with support for nat.

For all three programs that I have identified (they are the most convenient and suitable), root is required. With versions up to 4, there are no problems with them, for each device the method of obtaining is already painted to the smallest detail, look for (at least on the same 4pd) and rut =). We use any vending program and the Internet works great.

Actually, I wanted to tell a little about something else, about a proxy and 4 Andryusha. I will say right away that everything is pessimistic now and we can only set up surfing through sites and a mustache.

Floated

I have already mentioned the standard ability to configure a proxy for a standard browser. To do this, in the wi-fi connection settings, we climb into the settings of the network we need. We put the bird in "Advanced" and the sight of hitherto unknown setting points. Select Proxy Server Settings: Manually and drive in all the necessary data (in fact, the host name and port are all there, the rest is not so important). We save, run the standard browser and enjoy.

And what about those who prefer a third-party browser?
For Opera (be it mini or mobile) we type in the address bar: opera: config , we find the Proxy section and fill in the fields we need (There are no separate fields for the port, therefore we specify it through a colon, for example, proxy.example.com Gran1616 ). Having slightly reveled and poked ticks, I managed to catch the Internet.
Firefox is a little more interesting. In the address bar, type about: config and get to the page just with a bunch of different settings. Fortunately, there is a search line, we will use it and find the one we need with the help of the word “proxy” (who would doubt). But here the dark-darkness settings. Now, without the help of the administrator, I failed. Pulling out all the cherished information and the fox agreed to work.

I’m not some kind of Androidoman or radio amateur, I’m a simple web developer, a miserable layout designer and an unfinished XD scripter, but the Internet for people like me is often needed and where. And it's not always easy to get it. I hope someone will be easier.
PS No root - no screenshots, please forgive me (well, not the same).
